| Quote: Standee "is it the job of the halves to be defensive?
I know for years Horne has tackled everything in sight, but is that the job the halves should be doing?
I just think it's a bit unfair castigating Miller, a young lad, bags of potential, poorly managed/coached.'"
I think all players in a team should be able to defend. One weak link at SL level and teams will exploit that link all day long. Ben Crooks another example of this.
Certainly not "castigating" Miller, maybe the coach has got to answer some questions as to why he hasn't progressed. It appears he wasn't up to the standard at West Tigers either. Does that mean he was poorly managed / coached by coaches in Australia as well as Peter Gentle and also Radford? They can't all be poor?

Well that can't be true unless:
1) "Going home" means "to Hull"
2) Lloyd was shiit-stirring making a headline out of a "contracted player in return for pre season training shocker", embellished with phrases like "frozen out". Good attempt to bury the bad news of replacing Josh Hodgson with an unknown player from the French equivalent of Batley, mind.

| Could just be a negotiating position. People sometimes use a friendly journalist to put their side across, I've heard. So while I don't think many doubt that he'll go home eventually, perhaps this an indication he'll do it on terms of his own choosing.

If he found a club, Hull could just pay him off outside the cap I think. It's more of an issue for Arundel, although at least he is fed-trained and can maybe be carouselled on the cap.

If by journalist you mean "apologist", if by "sometimes" you mean "regularly, consistently and over the course of a decade", and by "put their side across" you forgot to add "unchallenged, with no attempt to call out double standards and hypocrisy", I'd be inclined to agree.
I wish Miller well, unrealistic expectations have done for him. Don't blame him for digging his heels in with the six figure at stake.

It's only been about 3 years by my count. Perhaps we're talking about different journalists? ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)
